- With a very sharp knife, butterfly flank steak, lengthwise. Lay flat. Placing hand on top of meat to secure. Slice meat in half, but not all the way through. Making two steaks which are still connected (hope I explained that right). Then you can open the meat and it will become one large, thin steak.or "butterflied".

I'm 41y/o wife and mother of 2. I've been a nurse for 20 years. We live in a small town in Arkansas. My passion is cooking. I love to cook anything and everything. Luckily my family is adventerous in their eating habits, so I have lots of fun trying new things out on them. I also like camping, traveling, gardening,water sports and collecting recipes. I like getting to know other people from other parts of the world. We have 5 pets, 2 dogs and 3 ferrets. My worst pet peeve is when people stick their nose up at a dish before trying it, because they know a certain ingredient is in it. I know everyone has different tastes, but picky eaters just don't know what they are missing when they turn down a dish they havent even tried.
